Amor signs process control pact with Aera Energy

Aera Energy, a California-based oil and gas producer, has selected Amor Group to review and enhance the security of its various process control systems, company officials said on Monday.

The deal represents a major breakthrough for the UK-based provider of business technology solutions, according to Amor officials.

Aera Energys operations account for approximately 25% of the Californias oil and gas production.

Under the deal, Amor will provide an in-depth review of Aeras security policy and procedures through its ProcessSecurity+ offering.

The services will be provided by Amor staff based both locally to Aera Energys headquarters in Bakersfield, California, and at Amor offices in Houston and in Aberdeen.

We are delighted with this success in the US market, particularly in a key strategic region like California, said Craig Swinburn, energy sales director for Amor Group.

Winning new business with a leading firm like Aera Energy is testament to the talent of the team we have across our global network, he continued.

The Californian economy is one of the biggest in the world and this offers us a foothold to gain further business. This deal underlines our expertise in providing services and IT support to the energy and utility sector.

Other Amor clients in the energy sector include BP and ConocoPhillips.
